Mechatronics

 

​What is mechatronics?

​​

Mechatronics is the combination of Mechanical engineering, Electronic engineering, Computer engineering, Software engineering, Control engineering, and Systems Design engineering in order to design and manufacture useful products.

Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field of engineering, that is to say it rejects splitting engineering into separate disciplines.

Originally, mechatronics just included the combination between mechanics and electronics, hence the word is only a portmanteau of mechanics and electronics; however, as technical systems have become more and more complex the word has been "updated" during recent years to include more technical areas.

​Instructions for the use of the building sets.

​
1. A unit in the building set consists of three stackable boxes with a cover, which is used as a working surface.
2.The boxes are divided into compartments of various sizes and show a overview of the contents of the compartment on the floor of the compartment.
3. Each workgroup, which consists of two students, always uses the same boxes, which have numbers on them. These and the names of the users are entered in a list.
4. It is not permitted to change the assignment of the boxes and to exchange parts between different kits. 
5. When building a circuit or a model, only take the required parts from the compartments. This information is given for the individual work steps in the instruction manual. 
6. When a part is no longer needed, then it is to be put back into the correct compartment immediately. 
7. You are only to do what the teacher has assigned as a work task and what stands in the work instructions! 
8. Get into the habit of never pulling on cables because this can uncover parts, which are carrying electricity.
